[SOLVED] to install Canon MP520, I have to remove gcc??? (Arch64)

process reads as such...
[root@myhost adonus]# pacman -S gcc-multilib
resolving dependencies...
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: lib32-gcc-libs will be installed before its gcc-libs-multilib dependency
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: binutils-multilib and binutils are in conflict. Remove binutils? [y/N] y
:: gcc-libs-multilib and gcc-libs are in conflict. Remove gcc-libs? [y/N] y
:: gcc-multilib and gcc are in conflict. Remove gcc? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-gnutls: requires lib32-gcc

gcc-multilib is required for lib32cups, which is required by the MP520 packages... before I do anything to bork my system, I just wanna make sure that all I need to do 'pacman -Rd gcc' followed by 'pacman -S gcc-multilib'...

make sure multilib is uncommented in /etc/pacman.conf
check for updated mirrors @ https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus
uncomment 2 or 3 of the most up-to-date from your area in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
pacman -Sy (or pacman -Syy)
update everything: pacman -Syu
install gcc-multilib: pacman -S gcc-multilib
allow all packages to be removed and replaced as requested
install MP520 package(s) from AUR (suggest clyde in place of pacman for this purpose): clyde -S cnijfilter-mp520
NOTE: if you don't already have clyde installed, grab from AUR package web page and install manually, THEN use it.

i have lib32-gnutls installed and it does not depend on lib32-gcc (only lib32-gcc-libs)... perhaps something's out of date?

karol · 2010-10-01 14:47:03

I think the packages got renamed or something - I can only find lib32-gcc-libs. Please update 'pacman -Sy'.

I've updated as of a few hours ago and I got this issue about 20 mins ago or so...

I don't see any package named lib32-gcc neither in the repos, nor in ARM - maybe you pasted not the whole message but a part of it and the last tow lines should read:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-gnutls: requires lib32-gcc-libs

Are you sure the mirror you're syncing to is up to date?

CPUnltd · 2010-10-01 14:55:40

my priority mirrors are gatech and easynews... where can I go to check how updated a mirror is?

Gatech is fine, the other one is probably out of date.

Edit: I don't see that package in gatech [multilib].

not sure why it's being requested then.... hmm...

I've got most of the US mirrors open in my mirrorlist...

You have to use up to date mirrors - pick one from the list (in the link) and put it on top of your list and 'pacman -Sy'.

From what repo have you picked lib32-gcc? I can't find that package.

CPUnltd · 2010-10-01 15:38:31

I didn't pick that package... not sure why that was listed as a dep of anything here... but I did narrow my mirrors down to 3 and found that a lot of lib32 stuff needed updating that I didn't see before.... could be why a bunch of stuff isn't working lately and the cause of this issue... will keep mirrors to a limited number from now on... I thought it was good to open all mirrors....

CPUnltd · 2010-10-01 15:40:21

that lib32 update fixed the issue.... now gcc-mutilib is installing... interesting

I wonder if this will solve all my other 32bit issues in Arch64? guess I'll have to play around and see... once the MP520 package installs, I'll mark this as solved and toss the "fix" in the first post...

Pacman picks the first mirror on the list, if it's not working, tries the second and so on. If the first one works, but it's outdated, pacman will still use it - because it's working and you wanted it.
Pacman doesn't know if it's up to date or not - it only errors out if it can't find the package - you have an old filelist and haven't run 'pacman -Sy' in a long time.

Just a couple mirrors is enough for pacman :-)

ok, we're all good... now if I can print, I'll be done! Also, thanks for the link... the wiki should be updated with such info that was supplied here... the wiki is seriously lacking without it.

Well, it's a wiki, so go and fix it :-)

I don't see anything missing http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirror but I may be wrong.

I meant that info would be valuable in the beginner's guide... and I seem to be having issues with the printer actually printing.... so I'll start a new thread about that...

Which part isn't there? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#Mirrorcheck_for_up-to-date_packages

Of course there may be some omissions, so we encourage users to post suggestions.

CPUnltd · 2010-10-01 16:21:52

must have been a LONG while since I last checked... I don't remember that being there...

of course, I could have overlooked it.
